The 3D Shelf Configurator from Emote 3D

The 3D shelf configurator is a virtual tool designed to assist users in creating personalized storage racks in three dimensions. With this tool, users can customize the rack’s length, height, and depth, along with adjusting the number of shelves to precisely fit their requirements. 

Moreover, users can replicate columns, simplifying the creation of multiple identical or similar racks effortlessly. Essentially, the 3D shelf configurator streamlines the design and customization of storage solutions by offering flexibility and control over various parameters, thereby aiding users in crafting the ideal rack tailored to their space and storage needs.

Features

Length, Height, and Depth Adjustments
Users can adjust the rack's size by changing its dimensions. This flexibility lets users customize the rack to fit their space perfectly.
  • Length (width)
  • Height (tallness)
  • Depth (depth)
For example, narrow spaces can have reduced length and increased height for better vertical storage.
Customizing Shelf Count
The configurator allows users to choose the number of shelves in the rack.
  • Need more space? Add more shelves.
  • Want larger compartments? Reduce shelves.
Customize storage to fit your needs.
Replicating Columns
Users can replicate columns for identical racks, saving time and ensuring consistency.
This means creating one column with specific dimensions and features, then replicating it for additional racks with the same setup.

Highlighting Features

A 3D rack configurator goes beyond mere shelf design; it incorporates useful features aimed at streamlining your overall experience.

Language Switching

This feature enables users to select their preferred language. Whether the user is fluent in German, Danish, or any other language, switching to it is as easy as a single click. By offering this capability, we ensure that everyone can comfortably utilize the tool and comprehend the instructions provided.

Detailed Invoice

Following the completion of the rack design, you’ll receive a comprehensive breakdown of all materials and associated costs. This itemized bill provides a transparent overview of the expenses, similar to a store receipt. Offering clarity on the cost distribution ensures that you have a clear understanding and helps prevent any unforeseen expenses.

Specifications

The configurator provides a comprehensive list presenting detailed information about each shelf. This encompasses their type, dimensions, materials, and weight capacity. Having these precise specifications readily available allows users to understand the capabilities of the shelves thoroughly, enabling them to make any required adjustments with confidence.

3D Shelf Configurator Dashboard

We offer a user-friendly dashboard. This dashboard makes it easy for you to manage key settings.

Dimension Adjustment

  • Adjust dimensions by setting minimum, maximum, and step values for depth, height, and shelf count. This intuitive feature facilitates the creation of racks that seamlessly integrate into your space while catering to your storage requirements.

Effortless Product Detail Editing

  • With the dashboard’s user-friendly interface, editing product content becomes a breeze. Update information regarding materials, load capacities, and other product details with ease, ensuring your records remain accurate and up to date.
